Hi jcl. My 1.22 Z5 did this at the end of the weekend:



I've never seen Z5 enter this many trades all at once - is this normal?

Thanks.

It is not normal, but correct. You can see the reason in the FXCM TS - there was a massive price glitch at 23:00 CET Sunday. This triggered the many pending trades. They are not harmful for system, though.

Thanks jcl. One of the trades has been entered - hopefully that's also OK?

Yes, that's ok. I have meanwhile learned that the price glitch affected not only FXCM, but several other brokers too.

Thanks.

This is what my Z5 did:
I still use Zorro 1.20. The important part is in red, my Z5 closed 3 trades at a loss. Why?

Same reason. The 3 profit targets had been triggered and the trades had been closed, but of course not at the price of the glitch, which was probably zero, but at the real market price.

You can dispute the trades with the broker, possibly you'll then get the 10$ loss refunded. FXCM is not the only one, some other brokers had experienced a similar price glitch on Sunday.

Thanks
